Why Your Essays Matter
Your college essays are more than just a formality — they can be the deciding factor in your competitive arts application. Here’s why focusing on them is crucial:
Over 80% of students have the grades and test scores to get into their dream schools, signifying academics alone won't get you in. Essays can multiply your chances of acceptance by 10x.
Selective schools and arts programs often require multiple essays, emphasizing their critical role in admissions decisions. Prompt guides you through writing your personal statement, college supplements, and portfolio or Slideroom application.
Arts programs value creativity and individuality. Essays offer you a platform to express your artistic vision and personal experiences that might not be evident in your portfolio alone. We help you craft essays that complement and enhance your art, making your application as compelling and distinctive as your work.
Bonus! Our students often leave with stronger writing skills, reducing the need for remedial courses and allowing you to dive straight into your core classes.
"Prompt's approach is based on data and succeeds in the way coaches work with students. There were several interactionsper essay, always with a quick turnaround time. AND our student is now a way better and more confident writer."

“Stats alone cannot get your child into a top 20 college anymore. You need interesting and unique essays to show why your child is not only a fit for that college, but what they can do for them."
- Parent, Harvard University 2022
“I was in a panic because my daughter needed a coach who could review and provide important feedback during the long holiday week before the deadlines. When my daughter's stress and anxiety reached an all-time high, the coach quickly scheduled more calls and motivated my daughter towards the finish line. I wish I had enrolled my daughter sooner!”
